Identification of acute aortic dissection

A 3-variable clinical prediction model can identify 96% of acute aortic dissections and stratify patients by probability to guide prompt diagnostic imaging.

Resumen

Assessment of 3 clinical variables permitted identification of 96% of the acute aortic dissections and stratification into high-, intermediate-, and low-probability groupings of disease. With better selection for prompt diagnostic imaging, this prediction model can be used as an aid to improve patient care in aortic dissection. Arch Intern Med. 2000;160:2977-2982
